«Europa, una aventura inacabada» is the philosophical essay by Zygmunt Bauman, published by Losada in paperback (213 pages, in Spanish).
Bauman analyses Europe's role in the world and whether the continent can oppose the self-destructive trajectory of the superpower. He reads the press, examines books by postmodern sociologists and philosophers, listens to political speeches and rereads the classics: a disturbing yet hopeful diagnosis of Europe's future and the welfare state.
Published in 2006 by Losada; the English original appeared in 2004 as «Europe: An Unfinished Adventure».
A recommended read for those following the debate on Europe's future, the welfare state and the single way of thinking.
Zygmunt Bauman was a Polish–British sociologist and philosopher. He was driven out of the Polish People's Republic during the 1968 Polish political crisis and forced to give up his Polish citizenship. He emigrated to Israel; three years later, he moved to the United Kingdom. He resided in England from 1971, where he studied at the London School of Economics and became Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds, later emeritus. Bauman was a social theorist, writing on issues as diverse as modernity and the Holocaust, consumerism in postmodernity, and liquid modernity.
